“Cronkite. Charlie's best friend”

“I heard Cronkite out and out lie too many times on national news to have anything but a total lack of respect for him. Sorry for his family's loss... but not much of a loss for any one else.”

“Man...if you were tired of the sea of worthless wastes of human skin in sports, then you really missed this guy.

Vernon was a CLASS ACT. I knew the guy and he was always humble as hell. Whoever did this...sorry I would agree to just beating them to death with a baseball bat.

ATLANTA — Former boxing champion Vernon Forrest was shot and killed during an apparent robbery in Atlanta, police said Sunday.

Atlanta Police Sgt. Lisa Keyes said in an e-mail Sunday that Forrest may have been robbed and was shot "multiple times in the back" Saturday night in Atlanta.

Keyes said there are no suspects.

"Vernon was one of the few decent people in boxing," promoter Gary Shaw said Sunday.

"I mean really decent. He cared about mentally challenged adults. He cared about kids. I just can't believe it."

Mark Guilbeau, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office, said an autopsy is planned for Sunday.

Forrest, who lived in Atlanta, was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic team. He was also a former WBC super welterweight champion.

"He was one of the most gracious and charitable fighters in boxing and he will be missed by the entire boxing community and all of his friends at HBO," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg told The Associated Press.

Greenburg helped put on eight of Forrest's fights.

"It is time for the needless loss of life to end," Greenburg said. "Maybe Vernon's lasting legacy will be for Americans everywhere to rise up and end this kind of senseless violence."

Forrest worked to provide housing for the mentally challenged through his involvement in the Destiny's Child group home.

Forrest, 38, took two wins over Sugar Shane Mosley in 2002. On Sept. 13, 2008, Forrest reclaimed his WBC 154-pound title by beating Sergio Mora.

The win over Mora was Forrest's last fight. He injured a rib while training for an April fight against Jason LeHoullier. That fight was canceled, and Forrest had to vacate his title.

There were tentative plans for a title fight against Sergio Martinez, perhaps in October, according to Shaw.

Forrest, who had a 41-3 career record with 29 knockouts, is the third prominent boxer to die this month.”

“Les Paul, at age 94.”

“aww :(”
